A DA MSB UUNIC STONE FOUND IN LONDON. 5 It is a monument undoubtedly erected by two such men which here comes under our consideration. A Fellow of our Society residing in London — and who with great zeal watches over the Society’s interests — Mr. John Brown, has enabled us to desciibe this object of antiquity with great accuracy. As soon as its discovery had become known in London, he applied to Mr. James T. Knowles Jun., the architect who had the superintendance of the works, by means of which the stone was brought lo light; and the latter gentleman did not only, with the greatest readiness, communicate to us a circumstantial report about this cu- rious monument, but made the Society a most welcome present of a cast of the stone, which enables us to exa- mine the inscription with greater accuracy and certainty. Along with a letter dated the 11th Dec. 1852 he sent to our Society the cast of this very interesting Bunic Monu- ment, which was dug up in the last month of August in the central part of London (or as he expresses it “in the heart of the city of London”). In his letter he adds: “Should the course of my profession — (an architect’s) bring me into contact with more such relics as the one which forms the subject of this communication, 1 shall feel proud in any way to further the object of Scandinaiian archaeology — by transmitting some notice of them to you.” London was in ancient times divided in two parts by a pretty brook of excellent w'ater, and running from North to South. The water was gathered from the fields lying to the North of the city. This brook had a passage through the city wall and ran through the centre of the city into the Thames. Down to the 13th century London was di- vided into 24 wards, of which 13 lay to the East and 11 to the West of the said brook which on account of its passage through the city wall was named “Wallbrookc”.
